| Well, I have decided to put this car as priority, My aim is to get it ready to drive to the first European Hot Rod & Custom show in Chimay, Belgium next June. I also changed the style that i'm doing the car, I'm now going for the late 40's/early 50's Bonneville salt flat style, kind of like the image below which was a very bad atempt at photoshopping by myself but hopefully you get the idea... The colour will be the original light(Kingston) grey with a blood red lower front. | |

| dude that'll be awesome! I still want that car hahaha. What drivetrain you going for? I don't know if you have the book 'Hot Rod - the photography of peter vincent' but there's a flamed 40 chevy business coupe actually at bonneville (albeit modern day) on page 240 that looks kool. Whats the score with the citroen now? | |

| You had your chance Not sure on drivetrain, definitely a manual box though, i quite like the idea of a mildly hopped up 235 six but they aren't so easy to come by now, kind of just looking around to see what comes up... I wanted to get the Citroen on the road for the summer but i just haven't had any spare time this year so far, it only needs a day or two spending on it... I took a while figuring out which to do first and well i got the 40 first so it's only fair i do it first or sell it as it is. I'll have to check out that book | |
